Google Analytics For tailoring our site we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer to help analyse your use of the website. The information generated by cookies in connection with your use of this website will generally be transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases shall the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

You may object to the creation of pseudonymous user profiles at any time. There are several options:

One way to prevent the analysis by Google Analytics, is an opt-out cookie which instructs Google not to save your data for the purpose of web analytics. Please note that this solution only works as long as the opt-out cookie is stored by the browser. If you want to activate the opt-out cookie now, please click here. You may refuse the saving of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Depending on the browser you use, you have the option to install a browser plug-in that prevents tracking.

Encryption To protect your data against unauthorized access, we use encryption on most of our pages. Your information will be transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using a 128-bit SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer). If the address begins with https:// and the browser shows a closed padlock icon the connection is encrypted. We may abstain from using an encrypted connection when exchanging publicly available information.
